In the era of piracy where people view movies illegally immediately post-release, only a few movies generate the excitement that they should be watched in theatres at all costs and one among them is - KGF-chapter 2.## KGF-Chapter 2 has the audiences in wait ever since the first part culminated in 2018 with many question marks. This movie will offer that level of visual experience in which people will go to the theatres at all costs to visualize this extravaganza. Five years ago the same craze was seen for Bahubali -2 which did a fantastic collection on its opening day and crossed the 100 crores gross mark all over India. ## Trade analysts are expecting the same with of KGF-Chapter 2 by looking at its craze. KGF makers are gearing up to give many surprises to the audiences because only a few days are left for its release. It will finally hit the big screens on the 14th of April this year. KGF-Chapter 2 craze is infectious and is spreading international and the trailer is expected to bring storm in YouTube viewership records.

KGF2 To Remain Undisputed At The Box Office?

Mumbai, February 18 - One of the most awaited pan-India biggie KGF2 is becoming hotter with each passing day. The film is all set to explode in theatres from 14th April this year. It was a long wait for this biggie due to the pandemic as the film was postponed many times. ## Earlier it was speculated that big-budget movies like RRR, Pushpa, Adipurush, and several others will likely clash with KGF 2. Though these were proven wrong in due course of time, Laal Singh Chaddha was scheduled to release on the same date. However, on February 15, Aamir Khan Productions made the official announcement of the postponement of the release date. ## As per the current status, Jersey starring Shahid Kapoor and Mrunal Thakur in the lead is scheduled to release on the same day as KGF2 along with some low-budget regional movies.## Moreover, the Tamil movie "Beast" starring Thalapathy Vijay and Pooja Hegde in the lead is scheduled to release on the same day. Recently Beast's single, Arabic Kuthu was dropped by the makers that left fans of Thalapathy into a frenzy. Though the movie will be in the Tamil language which restricts it from releasing in north India targeting the pan-India audience, Vijay's popularity is sprawling nationwide following the massive success of Master.## KGF2 is a pan-India biggie so there are no doubts that it will take an earth-shattering opening across the board and if the content is liked then it will be a humongous grosser for sure. Jersey and Beast won't hurt the film much even if they are good.##

Kannada Film Industry Takes Fresh Breath After Karnataka Government Lifts Weekend Curfew

Bangalore, January 24 - The Kannada film industry is heaving a sigh of relief after the Karnataka government decides to lift the weekend curfew, imposed two weeks ago. This news comes at a time when the film industry is looking for revival after a major setback caused by the second covid-19 wave. ## Earlier, just when the Kannada film industry was set for the blockbuster opening of the year, the 3rd covid wave forced the government to announce fresh restrictions in the state. However, with the 3rd wave not resulting in a surge in hospitalization and the recovery rate also being high, the government withdrew its decision of weekend curfew. ## Most of the theatres across the state, which had been closed for two weeks because of the weekend curfew, are all set to reopen and welcome audiences. Though the state government is permitting only 50 percent occupancy at present, multiple reports have suggested that 100 percent occupancy will be allowed by the next weekend. ## Meanwhile, the filmmakers have started rescheduling the release dates of their movies, which were supposed to release two weeks ago. Among the first Kannada films to release in the state after the reopening of cinemas is "DNA", which is slated to hit theaters this week, followed by "Obhattane Dikku", starring Yogesh on January 28.## However, the fans are waiting for the release of Rakshith Shetty's "777 Charlie", Darling Krishna, and Milana's "Love Mocktail 2", Kichcha Sudeepa's Pan-India film "Vikrant Rona", among other Kannada movies. "777 Charlie" was supposed to release last year.

Covid Third Wave Dampens Sandalwood's Sankranthi Spirit

Bengaluru, Jan 14 (IANS) The Covid-19 surge has proved to be costly for the Kannada film industry, aka Sandalwood, as the movies that made a good start at the box office are not being able to capitalize on their success.## The reason? The Karnataka government has limited occupancy in cinema theatres to 50 percent because of the third wave.## Producers who had planned grand Sankranthi releases have deferred their movies. And the film trade estimates that by the time the third wave peters down, scores of theatres across the state will permanently close down.## 'Badava Rascal', starring actor Dhananjaya, was released on December 24 and showed all signs of becoming a hit. The movie team had already begun a tour across the state to celebrate its success, but it received a rude shock when the 50 percent limitation was announced in the first week of January.## Dhananjaya stated that though the makers were happy with the box-office pickings, the restrictions had affected the prospect of the movie doing even better.## The Nikhil Kumaraswamy-starrer big-budget movie 'Rider', also released on December 24, had begun well at the box office, but then had to incur heavy losses. 'Arjun Gowda', the movie starring Prajwal Devraj, was also hit badly by the state government's decision.## The big Kannada movies will now be slated for release during the Varamahalakshmi, Ganesha, and Vijayadashami festivals. In fact, when the second Covid wave hit hard, major releases, including pan-India projects such as the Kichcha Sudeep-starrer 'Vikranth Rona', had to be postponed.## No Kannada film has been released after December 31. With experts predicting that the third wave will peak in February, the producers are unsure about releasing their movies. Industry sources said there won't be any big releases for another two months, which is going to spell doom for theatre owners.## By the time the third wave subsides, industry sources said, more than 200 theatres will shut down permanently. With no new movie being released, they are managing with movies which have released last month, even with 50 percent occupancy.## Stay tuned...

Makers Of Kichcha Sudeepa's 'Vikrant Rona' Reject Rs. 100 Crores Direct OTT Offer

Bangalore, January 8 - The makers of Kichacha Sudeepa's big-budget action-adventure film "Vikrant Rona" have reinstated their commitment to the film's theatrical release, despite the lucrative OTT offers. Directed by Anup Bhandari, "Vikrant Rona" is currently slated for February 24, 2022, worldwide in multiple languages. ## Since the movie has been delayed a few times, there were reports that the makers might take the OTT route for the film. It has been reported that one of the leading digital platforms offered Rs. 100 crores for direct-to-OTT release. Producer Jack Manjunath too confirmed that they are getting many big offers but they are committed to the theatrical release of the film. ## "It is true that we have been receiving some really good offers for direct online releases as it is a film that created a buzz nationally. But the film has seen nearly three years of hard work to ensure it is a world-class 3D release. Hence, while the prices being offered are tempting, we are waiting for a proper theatrical release to ensure everyone sees our vision the way we intended them to", he said according to ETimes. ## Meanwhile, the makers haven't taken a call on pushing the release date of "Vikrant Rona" yet as the country is going through the third covid-19 wave. Many states have imposed restrictions on theaters, including Karnataka, where theater capacity has been reduced to 50% and night curfews have also been introduced. ## However, they did have to change their plans with regard to promotions. "We had a teaser that was planned for a January-11 release where it would have been playing along with all the big festive releases across different languages. But, with most of them postponing their releases, we were forced to change that plan and have deferred our teaser launch for now".## "Vikrant Rona" is a 3D film that will be released in Kannada along with dubbed versions of Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and other languages. The cast of the film also includes Nirup Bhandari, Neeta Ashok, and Vasuki Vaibhav, among others. Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez has also played a cameo role in the film.## It is produced by Zee Studios, Kiccha Creations, Shalini Arts, and Invenio Films India.## Stay tuned...
